I was 21 years of age when I first fell in love. Youthful days they were, and I had my entire life ahead of me to grab and shape to my whim. Having just started at my local community college, I was in the midst of taking prerequisite classes to become a nurse like my mother before me. It seemed as if it would interest me enough, many of the courses I would take consisted of biology which I had always had an affinity for. But it was the math, "oh the math!" which caused me such trouble. It wasn't as if I could not grasp it, I just had no patience for it as it drove me mad to no end. Indeed, it was this very frustration with my basic math class homework which spurred my decision to drop the pen, leave my apartment, and go out for a run to clear my head.
This course of exertion was by no means an odd choice of mine, rather it was quite normal for me to run in the mornings once I had awoken. I would usually see the same people going about their own routines whilst out on my flight on the trail in my small town, although at this time it was the afternoon and I found myself passing by unfamiliar faces. It was a beautiful day out, summer had only just begun and the sun was shining bright in the sky. I felt the frustration leaving my mind as I gazed around the familiar trail and the trees which surrounded it, the green colors jumping out at me while lit by the sunlight. I breathed in deeply and smelled the scent of summer fill me and set me at peace, and then I saw her running ahead of me.
I first noticed she was a bit shorter than myself, which is something I am not used to as I am only five foot three. She was dressed in tight-fitting clothes which some joggers wear, but which I myself never did. Wearing shorts and a top, both tight, and pink in color which was bright in the sun. Long auburn colored hair tied in a ponytail trailed behind her as she jogged ahead of me. I could swear I could smell it when I breathed in, though her scent I could not place as it was mixed with the season around me. It was most likely this which aroused me, and I was surprised as I never considered the opposite sex while on my daily exercises. But this time it was different, I could not tear my eyes away from the curves of her hips which moved up in down each time she bounded her feet on the pavement. It was then I noticed how petite she was, and I began to wonder how she looked at the front. Earnestly I increased my pace so that I could meet up with her, then slowed as I neared.
